¹ Kon nag dëdduleen gépp coxor, gépp njublaŋ, naaféq, kiñaan ak jëw.

¹Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

² Gannaaw ay liir ngeen yuy door a juddu te mos ci mbaaxug Boroom bi, nàmpleen ci meew mu sell, miy dundal seen xol, ba màgg ci biir muccu Yàlla.

²as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,

⁴ Kon nag ñëwleen ci moom; nit ñi bañ nañu ko, waaye Yàlla fal na ko te teral ko. Mi ngi mel ni doju tabax, waaye doj wuy dund la,

³if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

⁵ te yéena ngi mel niy doj yuy dund yu Yàllay defare dëkkukaayam. Noonu ay saraxalekat yu sell ngeen, ngir jébbal ko ay sarax yu ngeen tibbe ci seen xol te neex ko ndax Yeesu Kirist.

⁴coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

⁶ Looloo tax bind nañu:«Maa ngi samp fi ci Siyon doju koñ.Doj wu tedd la, wu ma tànn;ku gëm ci moom, sa yaakaar du tas mukk.»

⁵You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁷ Kon nag yéen ñi gëm am ngeen cér ci teraangaam. Waaye naka ñi gëmul:«Doj wa tabaxkat ya sànni,mujj na di doju koñ.»

⁶Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed.” Isaiah 28:16

⁸ Te it:«Doj la wuy fél nit,di xeer wu koy fakkastal.» Dañu cee fakkastalu, ndaxte gëmuñu kàddug Yàlla, te loolu la Yàlla dogal ci ñoom.

⁷For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,” Psalm 118:22

⁹ Waaye yéen xeet wu Yàlla tànn ngeen, di askanu saraxalekati Buur Yàlla, askan wu sell ngeen, di mbooloom Yàlla, ngir ngeen yégle ngëneelam, moom mi leen woo, ba génne leen lëndëm gi, tàbbal leen ci leeram gu yéeme gi.

⁸and, “a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” Isaiah 8:14 For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

¹⁰ Démb nekkuleen woon ci dara, waaye tey mbooloom Yàlla ngeen; booba jotuleen woon yërmandeem, waaye léegi jot ngeen ko.

⁹But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

¹¹ Samay xarit, yéen ñiy ay gan ak ay doxandéem ci àddina si, maa ngi leen di dénk lii: dëdduleen bànneexi bakkan yiy xeex ak xol.

¹⁰who in time past were no people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

¹² Na seen dundin rafet ci biir xeeti àddina, kon doonte ñu di leen sosal ay ñaawteef, dinañu gis seeni jëf yu rafet bay màggal Yàlla, bés bu leen feeñoo.

¹¹Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

¹³ Na seen nangub Boroom bi tax, ngeen déggal képp kuy kilifa, muy buur ba gën a kawe,

¹²having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹⁴ mbaa jawriñ yu mu yebal, ngir ñu yar ñiy def lu bon, te teral ñiy def lu baax.

¹³Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

¹⁵ Ndaxte noonu la coobareg Yàlla tëdde, maanaam ngeen sax ci def lu baax, ba wedamloo jayil yi xamul dara.

¹⁴or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.

¹⁶ Li leen Yàlla goreel nag, bu mu tax ngeen mbubboo ko, bay def lu bon, waaye ngeen gën a feddali seen jaamu Yàlla.

¹⁵For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁷ Teral-leen ñépp, bëgg kureelu bokk yi, ngeen ragal Yàlla te teral buur bi.

¹⁶as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

¹⁸ Yéen jaam yi déggal-leen seeni sang ak wegeel gu mat sëkk, waxuma ñi baax te lewet rekk, waaye sax ñu wex ñi.

¹⁷Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

¹⁹ Ndaxte su ngeen dékkoo tiis, di sonn ci lu dul yoon ndax seen ànd ak Yàlla, loolu lu rafet la.

¹⁸Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.

²⁰ Su ngeen tooñee te muñ i pes, luy pey gi? Waaye su ñu leen fitnaalee ci def lu baax te ngeen muñ ko, jëf ju rafet la fa kanam Yàlla.

¹⁹For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.

²¹ Ndaxte ci loolu la leen Yàlla woo, ndaxte Kirist itam sonn na ngir yéen, teg fi seen kanam royukaay, ngir ngeen jaar ciy tànkam.

²⁰For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

²² «Musul a def bàkkaar,te jenn waxu njublaŋ musul a génn ci gémmiñam.»

²¹For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you TR reads “us” instead of “you” an example, that you should follow his steps,

²³ Saaga nañu ko te feyyuwul, fitnaal nañu ko te tëkkuwul, waaye mu dénk boppam Ki yor àtte bu dëgg bi.

²²who did not sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.” Isaiah 53:9

²⁴ Gàddu na moom ci boppam sunuy bàkkaar ca bant, ba ñu ko daajoon, ngir nu tàggook bàkkaar, sóobu ci dund gu jub; ndax ay gaañu-gaañoom may na nu ag wér.

²³Who, when he was cursed, didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

²⁵ Ndaxte yéena ngi réeroon niy xar, waaye léegi dellusi ngeen ci sàmm, biy aar seeni xol.

²⁴who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

²⁵For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer “Overseer” is from the Greek episkopon, which can mean overseer, curator, guardian, or superintendent. of your souls.
